Open Circuit Vs Rebreather

Open Circuit Vs Rebreather

■
Open Circuit Vs Rebreather is actually a very interesting topic and is probably one of the biggest leaps since going from snorkelling to scuba diving. First of all, I need to break down some of the gear and terminology because I’ll be rattling off acronyms throughout this video and if you’re watching this then you probably don’t know the difference between an SCR and a CCR.

No.1 reason to use ccr is that you look like the coolest diver in the world

[rodstephens]

Another advantage of rebreather is the quiet. On dives with lots of marine life, you can get p close and personal with them without scaring them off with the deafening scuba noise. You also get to hear the reef. The sound of parrot fish chewing on coral. The crackling of the reef itself. So many sounds you just can't hear on scuba.

I've been diving closed circuit rebreathers for 20 years now and I will disagree on one point. I use my rebreathers on every dive. I accept there are differing opinions on this matter especially within the rebreather community but this is my opinion. I do deep tecnical dives, cave dives and extended decompression dives. I also do recreational dives within decompression limits and I use my rebreathers for all of them. Rebreathers are fundamentally and functionally completely different from open circuit in almost every aspect of how you plan for and execute a dive. Why would I choose to change every aspect of my equipment and emergency procedures only on the occasion that I am doing an especially dangerous dive?? By keeping my equipment and bailout sequence consistent and practicing emergency drills regularly I can be confident that my training and experience will give me the best chance of surviving an emergency that I can hope for. I don't want to be that diver who dusts off his rebreather every two months and tries to remember how different it is from what he is "used to" as he is descending 100 meters down to explore a shipwreck.

I met once a CCR diver who called rebreathers "the most expensive suicide machines'. he liked his CCR though :)

[Mrich]

I love my ccr, I consider the whole unit(including bailout/BO CCR) much safer than open circuit single or twins. Yes there are downsides, and risks, but with proper preparation and risk mitigation you can get so much more out of your dives.

[Kilfun]

Guys I love your rebreather videos! I think it's so great to get more people diving CCRs. And really I've learned that most people don't becuase of the price or they are just nervous.
Once again. Thank you

Oh and one correction you ALWAYS HAVE a O/C bailout bottle. You never dive CCRs with out one.

[paulwhite]

When the term CCR is mentioned, am I the only one who thinks about Proud Moon Stop the maybe I’m on my own here? 🥺 😳

[clarkeysam]

Bottom button of your waist coat is undone, a nod to correct dress, or excess girth? 😁

[yechielrechtschaffen]

Let's be profecinoal and talk Mark's vest. What is that for?

[yechielrechtschaffen]

And on a more serious note, you may have convinced me to start learning rebreather

[hvc]

Thanks for the info! Would also like to know the longevity of the gear (taking into account avg wear & tear). What are maintenance costs? Setup time?

[Yggdrasil]

I've been really looking into it but the cost is holding me back for now. 🥺 First saving up for a drysuit, then a cave course.

[dalejohnson]

Used CCR in the Navy at Dive School. You need to get into some areas without being detected. I loved it and want to get one for sport diving. I will probably need to take the classes for mixed gas and Re-breathers as Most classes do not recognize Navy training. Plus I have not been doing CCR for over 30 years so there is probably some changes in things that I learned.

[samuelg]

I was scheduled to to board the conception tonight and depart at 4 am for a dive trip with the Marin dive shop.

[howscuba]

I just got quoted $1, 900 for service of my rEvo CCR at the rEvo factory. Just warning you about that expense.

[stephensr]

You can now get rebreathers that can be worn like sidemounts. Much lighter and more practical. I would like to try one but lm a little worried about their safety record

[dh]

Good choice on being sensitive to the recent dive boat tragedy RIP.

But in the near future please do the originally scheduled video because the purpose of which is to learn and live.

[TheRedbaron]

What's the advantage of scr over ccr? Didn't mares launch a new one a few months back?

[HellrazorDogsnDives]

Thank you for the advice on tec I want to see what Mares is going to do with their horizon scr model.

[TheFailedmessiah]

A liberty rebreather, is gonna cost you about 10 grand. But they are very safe and bad ass.
